Backup your remaining data from 30gb space to another drive. Then get a XP bootable cd, format all partitions, then create new partitions, now you will get back all the space.

You have to "Edit the Boot.ini File" here is how to :

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2. Click Advanced System Settings==>Advanced==>Startup and Recovery==>Settings==>Under System Startup, click Edit.

You will see exactly this :

This is a sample of a default Boot.ini file from a Windows XP Professional computer.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Now you can do either one : select the default operating system, change the timeout value(from 30seconds to 0 seconds) or manually edit the file, like, remove the second line that reads : multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
then SAVE the changes in Notepad. Close the Notepad. Reboot the system, and you are done.
